Short History of APAN 1996. 3 The idea of “APAN” was born at APEC Symposium in Japan, hinted by Dr. Steve Goldstein. <Kilnam Chon@KAIST & Michael Mc. Robbie@ANU took the lead for realizing the regional broadband networks, APAN. > 1997. 6 APAN was established, chaired by Kilnam Chon. 1997. 8 Michael Mc. Robbie@IU submitted “Trans. PAC” proposal to NSF’s HPIIS solicitation. 1998. 8 Trans. PAC was granted as an HPIIS project. <APAN expanded the members as well as the networks. > 2004. 6 Most APAN members joined an IU-lead proposal for NSF’s IRNC solicitation. 2004. 7 Shigeki Goto was elected APAN Chair.

North Asia is the core region of APAN: - fat intra-regional pipes shown left - inter-regional links of APAN Beijing Seoul Tokyo - backbone links to USA JP: Trans. PAC. JGN 2, SINET, IEEAF TW: TWAREN KR: APII/KREONet 2 HK: Gloriad Taipei Hong Kong - peering with DANTE ? ? : TEIN 2 < Blue links are (co-)funded by US or EU. > September 27, 2004 Internet 2 Fall Member Meeting 9

South East Asia Bangkok Kuala Lumpur Singapore South East Asia networks are developing. Inter-regional links are provided by North Asia. Each country has her own link to US; some are commercial links. SG, MY and TH are working for intra-regional links, meeting with TEIN 2. Satellite links are required to cover islands. September 27, 2004 Internet 2 Fall Member Meeting 10

Oceania Sydney AARnet will get the fat pipes to USA, via Hawaii next month. The link to APAN is via Hawaii or USA. The direct link between AU and JP is being studied by both governments. September 27, 2004 Internet 2 Fall Member Meeting 11

Other regions - North Asia will make efforts to connect these regions, together with South East Asia; satellite links might be a solution at the initial phase. - Efforts from EU & US are also expected. September 27, 2004 Internet 2 Fall Member Meeting 12

Links between US and JP IEEAF: STL OC 192 Trans. PAC: LA OC 48 JGN 2: CHI OC 192 SINET: NY OC 192 - Trans. PAC Layer 3 link and JGN 2 link are the main APAN links. - SINET Layer 3 link will provide the backup service for APAN. - IEEAF 8 X Gb. E links are for GLIF project.
